The performance at the opera house
last night was the poorest exhibition of
negro minstrelsy that has been witnessed
here in several years. The Georgia Min
strels, with the exception of kersands
and Jackson, is composed of about as
poor material as colld be selected, and
Kersands last night so far forgot himself

ineXcusable. The audience was small,
but larger than the troop deserved.
